In a letter to Israel’s President Isaac Herzog, Trump insisted he respects the independence of Israel’s justice system, but believes Netanyahu is facing “a political, unjustified prosecution”. He called on Herzog to “fully pardon” the prime minister. Netanyahu stands accused of corruption charges that include fraud, breach of trust, and bribery through lavish gifts from people like Australian tycoon James Packer. He denies all wrongdoing, but could face up to over a decade in prison if found guilty. Support stories that matter.
